It's Fun to Play the Piano ... Please Pass It On!

Two new videos. These come from when he did the complete solo piano works of Mozart throughout the 1990-1991 season.

More treasures. Thank-you so much for sharing these with us!

The older I get ... ha ha!... the more I have come to love and appreciate every note of Mozart. After all the empty rhetoric and sickening emotional impotence of the Rachmaninov sonatas, what a bloody relief.

But not above being critical of my posts, and those of several others here? You constantly whine about that stuff.

Interesting that you missed the whole point of my post. And going back some months to the utter fool you made of yourself in criticizing my sincere love of Liszt's Il lamento, well nothing much you say here means anything to me, how could it possibly?

Please put me on ignore, and beyond my reply here I have no desire to interact with you in the future.

What you call whining others would call pointing out that continually negative and nasty posts are inappropriate and arrogant. Criticizing another poster for the contents of their post is different from criticizing a great composer in particularly nasty language.

I certainly didn't miss the point of your post in the slightest. What I noticed is that you, as you do so often, found it necessary to throw in a mean spirited jab.

I must agree with argerich, but not regarding Rach. You're a whiner, plover. You seem to feel you're THE ONLY one above it all... to the point that you are the only one entitled to criticize anyone or anything. But the reality is that YOU are one of the more arrogant, nasty posters on the site and I'm not the only one who thinks so.

It also contains Bach's Capriccio on the Departure of his Most Beloved Brother BWV 992, Haydn Sonata in A-flat Major HOB. XVI/43, Mozart Prelude and Fugue in C Major K. 394, and complete Chopin Preludes.

Thanks for sharing this. This is such a great listen I ended up playing the whole video today. I think it's a great selection that really shows the contrast between earlier and later works by Mozart. Especially the 2nd movement of 533 is really adventurous.

I listened to Ondine, and it's much too mechanical and mundane for me. It's a fairy without its magic.

Says you. He keeps it a little restrained in the beginning, but there is so much color and depth in his sound. The way he builds up to the climax as the first time really digging into the piano... Incredible! Not to mention his liquid touch.

Here are the final two videos from what he gave me. A Haydn sonata recital, and another personal selection of various works by various composers, taken from a 30-year span of concerts. I hope you all enjoy!

Wow! What a great collection of masterpieces played by a master. Thanks for posting these and thank Mr. Luvisi for giving them to us. This thread should be made permanent so it's never lost and available for everyone in the future.
